Red Lion Inn

"Excellent!! We had been in for drinks earlier during our stay in Hawkshead, and really liked the atmosphere and vibe in the pub; it had a nice mix of locals and visitors, giving it a nice community feel. We booked a table for 7pm the next evening. Booking is advised but if you haven't a booking they will try to accommodate you if they can, and the kitchen finishes at 8.30. We opted for the Tomahawk Pork Loin and the chicken curry. The pork was so succulent, perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned. It was served with home made chips and a peppercorn sauce, delicious!. It's clearly popular too as they sold out not long after my order. The chicken curry... wow! This is probably the nicest, pub meal chicken curry I've ever tasted - restaurant quality, at pub prices. I was told it was home made and you can tell, it was absolutely delicious. It was also served with delicious rice, slices of red and green chilli's and an onion bhaji which, again, you can tell was home made rather than bought in. Just perfect! (Sorry for the lack of a picture of this amazing curry... we just tucked straight in it looked and smelled so good!!) On top of all that, the staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming. I cannot fault this place, we loved it! Thank you to everyone at the Red Lion"

The Hive at Poppi-Red

"Style over substance! When we checked in, there were numerous small issues (no signal on upstairs TV, leaking shower head and cold temperature, one remote control for two TVs on different floors, broken fridge). This was such a shame as there were some lovely touches such as drinks, a coffee machine and nice decor. We emailed the address given for contact but never received a reply. My husband spoke to someone on the attached restaurant who said they’d try contacting the manager but they never got back to us either. The following morning I spoke to someone in the restaurant who said he’d looked but thought it was the downstairs TV and that he did t think the upstairs one had a signal anyway 🤦‍♀️. No apology or explanation was given. We decided to leave it as we didn’t want to ruin our break away. When we got back later, the TV now worked! No one ever came to apologise and none of the other issues were rectified. And the Wifi! In the Suite there was no Wi-Fi signal. When we spoke to someone in the restaurant, they said ‘Yeah, it can be iffy in that room.’ Again, no apology. "
